No Sim

Hi

please help me...

after change rom my phone (Lenovo P780) can not detect SIM and in version info Baseband is Unknown.

I trying to update modem.img but it's not solve my problem and also try diffrent version of stock rom.

I'm in Iran.
[Lenovo P780] Trystam:
Right before you panic make sure of the following;

Phone is Rooted

Install Root Browser

Go to /system/etc/firmware

Check the permission on the file that should be 644 and the ownership of the file should be root for both user and group.

Apart from that what Lenovo P780 do you have ROW Edition or Chinese ?

Cheers

[Lenovo P780] shiret:
Try the FAQ no 19 from the blog: tinyw. in/WHSr. Or FAQ no 24.

If this not work, please contact me again, because on the Romanian version of the blog is a logical determination of the second IMEI, based on the first one (that is on the box).

Thanks.
[Lenovo P780] soralz:
Whew, I have the exactly same problem after flashing ROM. But seems like all the method aren't working for me, any other solution?
[Lenovo P780] shiret:
The idea is as follows. Both IMEI's are identical except for the last digits. For example, if first IMEI ends in 19, to find the last 2 digits of IMEI 2 must add 1 to the penultimate digit and subtract 2 to the last digit, resulting 27:

1. IMEI 1 = 19

2. 1 +1 = 2; 9-2 = 7; 2 +7 = 9 <10

3. IMEI 2 = 27

If the penultimate number of the first IMEI is 9, we will add 9 +1 = 0 but we will add 1 on antepenultimate digit.

example:

1. IMEI 1 = 299

2. IMEI 2 = 307

Hope you will find useful.

Sorry but I am in hurry and I translated with Google :D

Rom

Hi,

I found very easy step to find which rom can be flashed using Flash tool or CWM.

Just unzip the rom file which is downloaded and go to system folder and check other folders there like app, bin, etc.

Then this rom can be flashed only using CWM( From needrom site all the available rom's can be flashed using flash tool and

only chinese CWM recovery 6.0.3.2) If other CWM is used then it will stuck at booting.

P780 stucked in bootloop

thanks for your post about custom roms. im halfway through it. unfortunately....

my phone is now rooted and has cwm 6.0.1.5 when i tried cwm 6.2.6 recovery as suggested from miui vibe rom site needrom.com and now my p780 got stucked in bootloop.

also,usb-debug is disabled. how can i fix it???? please help for im desperate and i bit frustrated for believing in that forum. but i can trust xda.
[Lenovo P780] soralz:
You got stuck in a bootloop that's because CWM 6.0.2.6 is for China based and doesn't meant to work on International (ROW) based ROM.

To recover, simply download a stock ROM from here. Using SP Flash Tool, choose the scatter file you've downloaded the whole firmware, just select recovery.img and click download and you will see magic after the flash. :D
[Lenovo P780] ashoknraj:
No absolutely wrong he got into boot loop because the Chinese version partition blocks are not same as international one's
[Lenovo P780] randev4:
yes, i guess that's right. my bad... btw, i was able to flash the stock rom and now it's working again... im not trying any recovery for a while now.:)

currently im looking for cyanogenmod support for p780...
[Lenovo P780] soralz:
That could be the reason. China 4GB's partitioned as /data 2.5GB, /sdcard 1.0GB while ROW partitioned as /data 2.1GB, /sdcard 1.4GB.

Does China have 8GB version?

P780 8GB Update from 119 to 123

Hi All,

Hope this helps.

I had the S119 version on my P780 8GB version, bought in India.

I had rooted it using Framaroot and installed quarantine and blocking softwares.

I initially had problems updating the phone, while framaroot was installed, so I unrooted the phone and tried again and again had no luck.

So I finally rooted it again using framaroot and did everything to restore the phone as original, restore all blocked applications and remove any quarantine on any of the applications. Finally unroot the phone and try the update again.

And seems the phone is all updated perfectly.

Again, I am going to root it and freeze the unwanted apps.

Hope this helps all.

Regards,

gj

Connectivity Issues on SLXROM 23a

I have SLXROM 23a installed and everything works fine, BUT:

I have a QuickSettings tile that allows me to switch network mode (in my case usually between 2G and 2G/3G). It doesn't really work, however - when i switch network mode the network indicator shows that it's looking for a new network, but after 10 seconds it hasn't found anything and now indicates that no network is available.

If i tap the witch tile a few more times, it sometimes finds a network. Any idea what is causing the issue?

Switching network mode in system settings sometimes helps, although even that is confusing, as the option "Enable 3G (...for SIM 1)" is switched off even though my quick settings tile shows i am on a 3G network.

Any help much appreciated!

Hello

I'm new here...

First device info:

Lenovo P780 China version with ROM: P780_4.4.2_1447_VibeUI_2.0_V5 (it's Prerooted and work fine but a want to change to Alice Project) Flashed with Flash Tool 3.1304.0.0119(do not know is that important)

And there I have problem with recovery change I tried many times with many recovery images and different apps like (mobileuncle, TWRP app, Rom manager app) always flash recovery with no alerts, no errors and still no effect, always after reboot I have the same stock recovery (mean Android system recovery <3e>) any ideas what I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
You have Baralajbi firmware. What you have to do is:

1. Go to Carliv post and download TWRP recovery. I wrote there what recovery i tested.

2. Go to NeedRom site at section P780. Download Baralajbi firmware.

3. Go to my post from Q&A Section on this forum and download SP Flash Tool v5.

4. Unzip Baralajbi firmware.

5. Creeate one new folder and copy in it TWRP and scatter file from Baralajby firmware.

6. Start SP Flash Tool and load scatter file from newly creeate folder.

7. Now in SP Flash Tool select download and press Download Button.

8. Power off your phone.

9. Plug the Usb cable in your phone now.

10. The download of the recovery should start.

11. After the download is done DO NOR REBOOT YOUR PHONE. START DIRECTLY IN TWRP BY PRESSING VOL - VOL + AND POWER BUTTON ALL IN THE SAME TIME.

12. Now if everything works well you should have custom recovery and the possibility to flash your firmware.

13. Good luck.

14. Tell me if something goes wrong.

[Lenovo P780] iptopl:
Thank You

In this point is somthin strange : 12. Now if everything works well you should have <custom recovery?> and the <possibility to flash your firmware>.

1. <custom recovery>(but I think I have costom recover and I want chang it to TWRP or CWM) Did you mean TWRP Recovery?

2 <possibility to flash your firmware>.I want instal Alice Project. Do you think that I should prepare the SD card with Alice Project 7.0_p780.zip before 11. point from your list.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
1. Yes

2. You could prepare your SD Card before or after... This is optional.

At point 12 when you start your phone in recovery, you should see on your screen the logo of TWRP. That means you have been successful.

[Lenovo P780] iptopl:
I'm about to do the procedure specified by you.

1. I found recovery_carliv.img

2. Firmware = Rom? Example: P780_4.4.2_1447_VibeUI_2.0_MultiLang_Gapps_Root_baralajbi?

3. I have a problem to find SP Flash Tool v5 in your posts.

4. It depends on the point of 2 ...

5. There are no questions

6. It depends on the point of 2 ...

7. Do I need to tick the DA DL ..option?

8. Should I push the RED Reset button after Power off?

9. Ok

10. Ok

11. What if I Reboot Phone I tried to push Power + Vol up+ Vol down buttons at the same time many times and some time it sucks... Is ther risk to get bootloop?

Thank You for this help
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
1. Ok

2. Yes

3. Go to Q&A section on Rooting tutorial for KtKat, thete you will find SP Flash Tool.

4. Yes

5. Ok

6. Yes

7. No

8. No

9. ...

11. No. In the process of booting the stock recovery will overite the custom recovery TWRP.

I think the only valuable additional information is:

9/10 When you connect to your phone cable you have to patiently wait(this operation takes much time "for me" I have fast PC and it is 5-6MB)for the action to flash recovery eMMC (2 times I do not wait too long and it doesn't flashed, but after disconection form PC flash tool shows GREEN "circle")

Hello,

I got my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Stolen cant track it as i did not have tracking on it and battery was empty (gps is off)

I am getting tomorrow ne phone (same)

What options are out there.

I often forget phone to desk or to mall or to car etc.

how to prevent that happening again?

I have heard that Samsung Gear watch will vibrate when it will loose connection with my Galaxy Note 3

Can i set it up this way that my watch will also vibrate and make noise (also phone?) when i am too far with my wach from phone.

Can i change the distance?

This prevents me forgetting phone somewhere when i move elsewhere?

I did also find this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpQIhIky9o8

Or is there more options with similar devices?

As this proximo should exist also for android devices and not only for iphone
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You could simply learn to be more responsible.

Forgetting your phone is your own fault. You're just going to have to condition yourself to not let the phone out of your hands. Done with it? Put it in your pocket.

Set up a Samsung account, you can use it to track your phone. As for gear options, no idea.

First of all ShadowLea i have not blamed anyone else that my phone got stolen. And phone WAS in my pocket.

You think that i don't feel bad already that having my phone stolen and now you come here to point to me with ur finger and ***** that it is my fault?

Thank you for your "friendly" attitude.

If you have no idea is there any similar device then why to comment?

I have no use of this samsung tracking as when phone is stolen they will turn off phone and replace sim card so tracking device is not an option or...?

Question was will the Samsung Gear wach alarm me when i am let say 1 meeter away from phone (alarm on phone via voice and same with wach)I have heard that watch will actually vibrate?

or is there any other device Similar to devices i mentioned above.

Maby some small sticker type alarm so when phone (that has sticker or... attached) and will be too far from me it will raise an alarm.

Bit too harsh dude. He was merely giving you advise.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrej201:
next time just set up android manager and set up a samsung account and use the device tracking

or if you are rooted you can use cerberus app and put it in the system app with this

the only way to remove the app its by doing a full factory recovery

if they reset the phone the app will still be install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cocliosttro:
So if user puts in his own sim card i will still have full control over that phone?

Usually phones (those new ones) have this factory reset button inside. If they press that one it will not help? As thieve can`t remove that app?

I wanted myself to push that security even further. As idea is same as that kensington has.

So for example i am in a pub. Phone is in my pocket and i am on dance floor or waiting on bar line to buy my drink or i go to toilet and i place phone for second to sink or toilet paper holder i do my things and when i start to move away from the phone or someone is stealing phone while i do not notice (those thieves are skilled and can pump in to you and say oh sorry or what ever and next thing you notice is that phone is gone.) and it will raise an alarm on my phone and on that secondary device (key holder on my pocket etc) and both devises start to make loud noise so i will notice when something like this happens.

I start to leave toilet while phone is still on the sink system will alarm as i am away from phone for example 1 meeter or thive is walking away with my phone and it will raise an alarm.

That was the point.

I have searched for many devices that can actually be useful.

But thank you for your effort to help me.

A few Smart watches have these features, Galaxy Gear was mentioned earlier, apparently so does the HOT watch.... One of it's features is if you leave your phone behind when it gets a certain distance away(probably 10 meters as it's bluetooth) it will vibrate and let you know about it.

As was also stated google have Android device manager. You can locate, ring or wipe and lock your phone. As long as it can be contacted through mobile internet or wifi this will work... Read how here - http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...t-android-device-with-android-device-manager/

http://www.inc.com/john-brandon/5-start-ups-the-samsung-galaxy-gear-might-kill.html

they write there at point 4:

4. StickNFind

This phone finder system is pretty cool. There's a leash mode that sounds an alarm if you leave your stuff behind. The thing is, if the Galaxy Gear is a big seller, there's no reason to use the stickers if your main concern is losing a phone. The Gear watch will alert you when you leave your phone behind. It even locks the screen of your phone when you walk away and unlocks when you appear again. There are a bunch of other companies who make similar finders, including the Tile app. If they're not paying attention to the Gear now, they should.

As i understand i need to get sticker for my wach and it will raise an alarm when i am too far from my phone.

Let's be fair, the RESPONSE was Harsh, patronizing and judgmental.

Of course it's partly fault of the user. But when someone feels the needs to state the obvious, it's usually not to be informative, but rather to glout.

The BOLDED quote is not advice, but judgmental opinion at best, and a emotional jab at worse. Now granted, while certain things deserve judgment, call it what is is, instead of cowering away and calling it "advice".

At least, hopefully, you (OP) turned on Reactivation Lock, so they can't bypass your screen lock (surely you had one) by flashing your ROM.

Don't forget to call the service provider to blacklist the IMEI so it can't be sold on the black market. This will prevent future thefts.

Yes, StickNGo is a good alternative. But it doesn't look like they have a use case required for your reversed direction location. Worth noting is that Android 4.3's Bluetooth LE stack is still buggy enough to cause usability issues and also if you notice StickNGo's indiegogo, lots of people are getting replacement tags due to some problems.

The other recommendations here are great so far. :D:good:

Had a friend buy what was thought to be a good phone, seemed to have been blacklisted in another province in canada, and well he was sol. He blacklisted his proof of purchase s4 he traded for the other phone, but both him/them have equally good tablets now...

Looks like Bluetooth LE is just not properly implemented in Android. Bluetooth LE reliant products across the board are either having serious technical issues with Android based systems or have out right declined to support the operating system.
